Have your say - review of non-assigned amateur regulatory arrangements
The ACMA has reviewed the regulatory arrangements that authorise the operation of non-assigned amateur stations.
This work was part of a broader review that included non-assigned outpost licensing arrangements, as foreshadowed in the Five-year spectrum outlook 2020-24.
The objective of our review is to identify the best licensing mechanism that reduces regulatory burden and minimises costs for licensees, while also preserving the current operational utility for licensees.
We have identified a set of options. We could:
keep the existing apparatus licensing arrangements and conditions
simplify the existing licensing arrangements and conditions
transition non-assigned stations to class licensing arrangements, while retaining apparatus licensing arrangements for assigned stations.
We are now consulting on these options and our preferred approach to authorise the operation of non-assigned amateur stations under a class liceWe are now consulting on these options and our preferred approach to authorise the operation of non-assigned amateur stations under a class licence.
We are also seeking preliminary comments on a proposal to establish an additional kind of accreditation to allow people to become accredited persons to issue frequency assignment certificates for assigned amateur repeater and beacon licences.
The consultation paper and draft class licence are available on our website.
A separate consultation paper and draft instrument relating to outpost licensing is also available.
We invite comments on the issues discussed in the consultation papers and on the proposed instruments that would implement our preferred class licensing option.
Submissions close on 2 April 2021.
